    Has anyone experienced this?

    I have read where to limit the amount of lockups you need to turn on the Icons in Dock setting, I have done the begrudgingly. :mad:

    Re-testing with spybot resident on

    avoid Tea Timer in WinXP unless you are really scared

    I found it really slowed down my old machine

    well nothing is slower than spy sweeper software with regard to spyware checking. ;-)

    weird, i have seen no marked slowdown using tea timer

    and yeah, im scared of spyware, really scared, to me it is worse than a virus...

    Just a follow up on this,

    after much testing, (takes a while for each test).
    and reading other post.
    I decided to give the uninstall and reinstall Ptools option a try.

    For the longest time Parallels has been uping Ptools just fine.
    but every now and then (This being the time ;-) needed to do a reinstall.

    seem to have help alleviate the locking, (well made it thru 1 24 hour period without screen freeze
